Best Burrito

Oh, the gastronomic abuse that has been perpetrated in under the guise of a super burrito. Too often, "super" means gloopy, starchy, overwhelmed by bland rice. The super burritos served at La Corneta's Glen Park location incorporate fistfuls of cheese and fresh lettuce in their super burrito, but the flavor comes out bold and balanced. Grill smo...

For a tasty burrito that's the size of an NFL football and is made with only the freshest ingredients, this Doral hot spot can't be beat.

Now add your choice...

Though completely non-traditional, the burrito dog is one indulgent delicious hot mess. Two grilled dogs are topped with chili, bacon, chopped onions, sour cream, cheese, and yellow mustard, before being blanketed in a gigantic flour burrito -- then grilled again to merge the ingredients together. Salty, hot, creamy -- it's a guilty pleasure tha...

When Ruby Tuesday announced it would purchase Lime Fresh Mexican Grill, Miami's own breakout fast-casual burrito restaurant, we got worried that a major corporation would fuss with Lime's philosophy of using humanely-raised meat and making their salsas fresh daily. We were assured this would not be so. In any event, the original South Beach loca...

There's also a...

Long before there were people, the country of Mexico swarmed with great lizards who roamed the earth in search of some really good tofu. OK, maybe not, but even carnivorous dinosaurs would sink their giant fangs into this burrito filled with cheese, vegetables, and seasoned tofu ($4.95).

It's unorthodox to eat a burrito at a place known for super fresh seafood -- until you realize that inside the warm flour shell lies (guess what?) - super fresh seafood! Consider the tortilla a home for the grilled shrimp, corvina, and seafood-infused sauce ($9). You may have broken with tradition, but it was delicious, wasn't it?

Sam Gorenstein makes beautiful ceviche at his teeny-tiny restaurant in the SoFi section of Miami Beach, but he must have seen a market in catering to the international students who stay at the youth hostel adjacent to his place because his burritos are the sleeper hit. Filled with insanely fresh seafood like corvina and sushi-grade tuna, they're...

La Azteca Tortilleria, an old-school tortilleria in East Los Angeles that's been open for 65 years, has a small menu for customers who can't wait to go home to eat their freshly assembled tortillas. Consequently, it makes the best burrito in town: one made with profoundly awesome flour tortillas, obviously, but also embellished by a meringue-bat...

Of the roughly five gazillion places in the Valley that serve a chicken burrito, this humble little orange building on 16th Street just north of Washington is the one we keep coming back to time and again. How could it be that good? First, the chicken is from a rotisserie bird, chopped up with the skin for that much more flavor. Then, the choppe...

The chicken burrito at Asadero Norte de Sonora is refreshing on every level. First, there's the way in which your burrito is served, following a complimentary cup of frijoles a la charra as well as chips and salsa. Then there's the burrito itself, which is 100 percent fresh -- green guacamole, crisp cabbage, light sauce, and chopped rotisserie c...

There's a reason why Los Dos Molinos has the motto "Some Like It Hot." Nearly everything on the menu packs a serious punch, and the carne adovada burrito is certainly no exception.

Those who go to the Downtown Phoenix Public Market just to shop really aren't taking in the full experience. There are food trucks, yes. Samples, of course. But have you ever tried Mi Salsa's freshly grilled breakfast burritos? A hearty helping of chorizo, eggs, potatoes, cheese, beans and your choice of salsa -- Mi Salsa's breakfast burritos ar...

Serious foodies have long argued over what Arizona's official state dish should be. The chimichanga? The Sonoran hot dog? Look, we're not here to take sides (so to speak, since salsa would be a great idea) but we are willing to mention a serious contender, the Arizona Burrito at Barrio Queen. The Scottsdale sister restaurant of Phoenix's Barrio ...

The nice thing about ordering a simple bean and cheese burrito here...

We'll admit that El Comedor Guadalara keeps some strange hours (breakfast and lunch only Monday and Tuesday, and dinner ends at 8 p.m. Wednesday, Thursday and Sunday). But the ample portions and ample flavor are well worth moving your schedule around. Case in point, the red chili burrito enchilada style. Tear open what visible parts of tortilla ...

Don't let the name fool you. The wow-factor of the food menu isn't limited only to the tacos at Los Taquitos.

Unlike some of the others on this list, the carne asada burrito at Frontera Comida Mexicana doesn't come from a brick and mortar restaurant but rather a food truck on 16th Street and Van Buren.

The easy part in figuring out the best burrito in Orange County is narrowing the selection to breakfast burritos, which are not only the best type ever invented, but probably also the best food item invented.

The truck is gone, but the food is even better. Vegetarians should try the sweet potato burrito, and carnivores can choose beef, pork or chicken. According to Che...

The best burrito you didn’t know you wanted. The line is what beguiles you; it’s so long...but...why is it so long? Two reasons: 1. People can’t help but be mesmerized by the Mr. Rogers-cum-Soup Nazi who asks (nicely!) what you’re having (listen to the guys in front of you to get the rhythm of size/beans/toppings/salsas), all the while single-ha...

Everyone has their own burrito peccadillos. Some people demand a tortilla that’s warmed just right. Others require perfectly melted cheese. And there are the finicky types who worry that the fillings need to be evenly spread. Anna’s offerings meet all of these standards, but where they truly shine is in flavor. They use only the freshest vegetab...

The 12-inch “Grande” burrito, with all the wo...

This hole-in-the-wall Mexican eatery makes a mean burrito, filled with well-seasoned meats, ripe avocados, melted cheese, and scrumptious beans. The best part?

It’s got an admittedly silly name, but this family-owned eatery is popular among more than just Portlandia fans.
